AUSTIN – Leah Rayne just wants her job back.The former welfare recipient, who spent 20 years rising through the ranks at Texas’s health agency, found herself thrust into the news last summer after being fired for allegedly leaking confidential information about a data project. She denied it, but, as a manager, did not get an appeal.Four months later, Rayne’s denial appears to have more credibility: the state lawyer who accused her of admitting to the leak, Jack Stick, was forced to resign in December as part of a scandal centered on allegations that he tried to help a local technology company get state contracts.
